Harshovardhan
(37) and Avantika (36) are married couples and have successfully adopted a girl
child. After completing the entire
procedure, right from registration, the baby finally arrived in their family on
22nd February, 2010. Read on to know more about their adoption
success story.
We got married 13 years ago. Decision of adopting
a child was mutual and I and my wife had plans to have an adopted child even
before our marriage. This is the first adoption in our family. Our family was
completed on 22nd Feb 2010. The baby was just 2 months old when she
came to our family. This was like our dream come true.
The arrival of our baby brought lot of happiness and
good luck to our family. It took us 4 years to complete the entire adoption
process and bring the baby home. Some of our friends already knew about the
how adoption procedure needs to be followed and with the help of our friends we
made our dream come true.
We were not completely happy with the adoption
agency as the adoption process was too long. As mentioned earlier it took
us 4 years right from registration to bringing the baby home. But we are happy
that we are successful in adopting a child. All I want to say is, parents who
are looking ahead to adopt a child need to be very patient as according to us
the entire adoption process is very tough. However, after two years I am considering
to adopt one more baby to make our family complete in true sense
My family and friends supported me a lot in this
adoption journey. My mother knew that I am going to adopt a child but she is no
more to see our little wonder. Other family members accepted the baby whole
heartedly. They decorated the house when baby the arrived. My wife took leave
from her office work for welcoming the baby. It was wonderful to have our
little wonder after lot of struggle.
It is a good cause that IndiaParenting.com has
started an adoption
support network and would like to suggest that IndiaParenting.com should
make their adoption discussion forums more interactive in order to help
adoptive parents. I would like to suggest the parents or individuals who are
considering adoption that adoption is a beautiful thing to complete your family
and parents or individual should definitely go ahead with adoption. It is very
easy to raise a biological child and it is very challenging to raise an adopted
child but it is a unique experience.
